You dispute these findings? It is not a generalisation to state that criminality is rife among lorry drivers when most of them break the law.
I'm trying hard not to bite, but WTF.....
According to the linked article "two thirds of lorries were defective OR illegal". Now you are obviously one who takes statistics at face value. Me on the other hand, I take them with a pinch of salt. Perhaps because I spent 20 years in public service and got used to seeing "statistics" being massaged to suit the occasion. So yes, I DO dispute the figures.
There are motoring offences, and there are crimes. For instance, I drove a lorry which strictly speaking was not legally compliant last week. The height indicator in the cab was set at 15'05", yet I knew fine well that the trailer I was pulling was only 15'02" high. Hands up; I couldn't be bothered changing it for the short distance I was driving because I knew there were no low bridges on my route and I knew the height without needing a wee sign in the cab to tell me.
Technically illegal and no doubt would count as such in any statistics; but does that make me a criminal?
I can assure you that as an agency driver and working with various different companies, I see none of the rife criminality among drivers which you seem to believe is the norm. You really need to get a grip on reality.
